Why go01
Okadamae calls itself a niku kappō, a Japanese kappō counter devoted to meat, and it runs on a single course with no à la carte, so the only choice you make is the time, 18:00 or 20:00. The name means 'in front of Okada': at an earlier job of chef Kenichiro Okada, guests would ask to be seated facing him. The course moves through Kobe, Matsusaka and Ōmi beef in many forms, from consommé to sukiyaki, with steaks from a charcoal oven in view of the counter. World's 101 Best Steak Restaurants placed it at No. 86 in 2025, and the house cites the list's Best of Japan award from 2022.

03The beef
The beef is Japanese Black. Savor Japan names Matsusaka, Ōmi and Kobe; World's 101 Best Steak Restaurants adds Sendai beef to those three. On the course, Kobe appears as tongue sashimi and as a double consommé, and Matsusaka as the sirloin for sukiyaki, so a single evening covers several of Japan's beef brands. The sources give no grade or ageing period.
04The fire
The steaks are grilled over charcoal in an oven made in Spain, placed where the counter can watch it.
05The story
Kenichiro Okada, owner and chef, began in a yakiniku restaurant where he worked as a student. He opened Chanto in Shinsaibashi in 1993, took it to Yokohama in 1997 and opened Ken's Dining in Nishi-Azabu in 1998. In 2015 he opened The Innocent Carvery, also in Nishi-Azabu and also in this guide, and after it Okadamae, on a 14 February; Savor Japan, the source for that history, does not give the year.
06The practical
The 16 counter seats are in the basement of the Rune Azabujuban Building, which the house's own site spells Lune, three minutes' walk from Azabu-Jūban station on the Namboku and Ōedo lines. Booking is required and goes through the web form, for the 18:00 or 20:00 sitting. Children from primary-school age are welcome and eat the same course as the adults, so this is a counter you can bring the family to; the room is non-smoking. The house lists its closing days as irregular, while Savor Japan gives Sundays and public holidays, so check your date when you book.
